Intent to Sole Source Investigative Database Services

The Marine Corps Installation East Regional Contracting Office at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, intends to award a sole-source, firm fixed-price purchase order to LeadsOnline, LLC (CAGE: 53GT4) for access to its proprietary Leads Online Investigation System Database. This web-based service enables criminal investigators to monitor and analyze transaction histories across pawn shops, secondhand stores, scrap metal recyclers, and major online marketplaces such as eBay and OfferUp, providing critical intelligence that is otherwise unavailable through conventional law enforcement channels. Market research confirms that LeadsOnline, LLC holds the exclusive copyright and licensing rights to this system, making it the only source capable of delivering the required functionality, thus justifying non-competitive procurement under FAR Subpart 12.102(a) and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). The acquisition is classified as a Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) transaction with an estimated value not exceeding $250,000 and is intended to support the Provost Marshal’s Office and Criminal Investigation Division in fulfilling their mission-critical investigative duties. No competitive bidding is planned, though responsible sources may submit capability statements within five calendar days of the notice’s publication on April 23, 2026, with the government retaining full discretion to proceed without competition regardless of responses. Performance will occur at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, with no physical delivery or packaging requirements since the system is delivered electronically. The procurement is grounded in restrictive rights and exclusive licensing assertions, with no standard FAR contract clauses, inspection criteria, or payment details specified beyond the agency code M67001 and the designated point of contact, Leonard Polous. The contract represents a continuation of an essential digital investigative capability with no alternatives available, and no additional special requirements such as security clearances, key personnel, or contract options are applicable.
